Why Us?
JustWrite is built on both an educational and business background. We are part of the JustWrite family, in Ohio, but are not affiliated with any other writing competitions.
Between us, the Founder and Board have been involved in education and private business for over twenty-five years, and have participated in a variety of writing competitions- as coach, host, and organizer. We know what it takes to run a successful writing competition, understand the needs of the market, and have a strong plan for the future. We understand that students need to be the primary mission and want students be recognized for the literary talents they possess.
